I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING RELATED TO THE STARCRAFT UNIVERSE I ONLY OWN MY OC.

This is the first part in the Filler arc ( had no other words for it). But like I said in the last chapter, those will serve to show a bit of the relation of the characters

Chapter 5 part 1 : Acceptance

"Jim he is our son."

James Raynor is someone that can safely say that he is not easely surprised after all the things he's seen. But this... this really wasn't what he was expecting but at the same time he was. After all it was Mengsk's style to make a cruel joke out of a weapon. To make that weapon a living being, this seem like the hybrid all over again but now it was is and Sarah's DNA that was used. A cruel joke indeed.

In the back of his mind he could almost hear Tychus laughing like a mad man.

"Are you sure ?" Jim asked, surprise written all over his face.

"Yes, I had Abathur test his DNA. Technically speaking he is ours." Sarah said, with an happier tone of voice than before. But also nervousness.

"Did... did you give him a name ?" Jim asked, simply trying to grasp everything that was going on.

"I did actually its..." she started, only to look hesitant.

"Darlin', what is it ?" Jim asked, not even noticing he used her old pet name.

"I named him Trace." She said, looking worriedly at Jim.

Once again James Raynor was shocked. Of all names she chosed his father's name. He wasn't angry, far from it. But it was just shocking. Even if it brings some bad memories, he can't deny the happy ones that comes back to mind.

"Trace huh ."he said with a chuckle " I like it." He said with a smile.

"Now if you gents could give me a second, seems I have a son to meet." Jim said as he started to walk towards Trace. He quickly realisee that Sarah wasn't walking with. She was standing were they were just talking simply looking at him with a small loving smile. Its been a while since he saw that one. The last time was when they were still in the Lab and nobody was looking.

If somebody was looking she was cold to everyone even Jim but when nobody was looking she was Sarah Kerrigan. A woman that wen't through so much that alot of people in her place would become insane. But she held onto her's like a vice. That is why a big reason he wanted to trust her, those silent conversation meant alot to the both of them. He showed that he was there for her and she showed him the same thing. But when he saw her reinfested... a part of him understands why she did it. But all those memories of her no... The Queen of Blades using her body to do those thing were all painfull.

But the woman that he was looking back at was Sarah not the Queen of Blades, after all she would have kill him and mind controlled Trace and never worked with terrans unlless there was a point to it. But here she was.

Yes the woman in front of him was the woman he loved. It would just take time to accept it. After all he still had some very sore memories, Fenix being an important one. But he knew some day he could pardon her. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, maybe not even in a year. But one day he will.

But for now...

"you comin' darlin' ?" he asked "I've got a son to meet and I think the mother needs to be there." He said with a chuckle.

"Yes im-im coming." She said with tears of pure joy falling from her eyes after she heard Jim's thought. He was willing to give her a chance ! She could understand why he was so hesitant, it hurted to think about it. But she understood. And even more important, he wasn't mad about Trace, he was willing to give a chance to Trace too.

Sarah Kerrigan never thought that only a couple of words ( and thoughts) could bring her so much joy and happiness.

As they both neared Tracer, Jim felt a bit of somethimg he hadn't sense in many years. Fatherly pride. His son looked intimidating and badass.

"Huh wonder what the two of us, ready to battle would looke like ?" He thought to himself, as he imagined himself in his suit of armor and his son being side by side.

As they stopped in front of him, he saw Trace getting up and again Jim felt a bit of pride. His son , for a 16-17 year old, he was almost at his height wich was of 6 feet 5 inches. Trace was probably at 6-3 maybe 4.

"So... Trace huh." Jim said with a chuckle when he was in feont of Trace.

"Hum... yes." Trace said, obviously nervous.

"Don't worry,son. Its as nerve wrecking for me." Jim said with a smile.

Ok... Dad." Trace said, a watery smile on his face.

Sarah, who was close to them, could only smile as she sensed the happiness coming from both of them.

For the next hour father and son were finally able to know each other.

1 hour later

it was time Jim would go back to the Hyperion and Sarah and Trace would go to the Leviathan. Right now father and son were telling each other goodbye. Jim's raider simply looking back at the scene with amusement seeing their stoic commander trying to not let out some tears.

"You better stay out of trouble Trace." Jim said with a teasing smile.

"I think that won't be possible." Trace said with a laugh.

"Oh ? Do tell." Raynor said with a raised eyebrow and a small smile of amusement.

"I got your's and mom's gene in me." He said with a deadpan voice.

There was silence for a second before a laughter was heard. Sarah's laughter. Again, he hadn't heard that one in along time.

"You know Trace isn't wrong, you have a tendency to get into trouble." She said still laughing.

"Oh really i'm the one that gets into trouble ?" He asked with a smile, as he started to walk closer to her.

"Yes mister "I use an old vulture and myself as bait for zerglings and hydralisk"." She said with a laugh.

"Well it so happened that I was making a distraction for a certain ghost." He said, getting closer to Sarah.

"You just wanted to watch my ass." She said with a smile, loving the banter that they were having.

"What can I say, that old ghost suit really accentuated it." He said, now being so close their nose was almost touching.

"Pig..." She said with a loving smile as she looked into Jim's eye.

After that she started to hug him as if her life depended on it. Jim returned it wholeheartedly.

Trace who was on the sideline couldn't help but smile, altough he was still blushing about their banter.

As Sarah was about to release the hug she didn't expect Jim to kiss her. With alot of vigor. At that Trace averted his eye.

They continued kissing...

continued...

again...

They finally stopped when they needed to breath.

Before Sarah could speak Jim beat her to it.

"Look darlin', I may not be still a hundred percent sure of all... well this. But... but I think I can give you a chance. So give me a bit of time to be more comfortable. Ok ?. Jim said.

"Of course, I didn't expect you to accept all this right now. But... thank you Jim. Thank you for believing in me." She said, a wathery smile on her face.

And with that the two went to their respective troop, ready to go back to their ship.

But Sarah suddenly stop. She needed to say it to Jim before it was too late. Turning around, looking at Jim's back, she send with her mind three simple words.

"I love you"

She saw Jim stop, sense his surprise. He then turn around to look directly in her eyes, and with a smile sent back four word to Sarah.

"I love you too"

Sarah couldn't stop her tears a this moment.

Time skip

Hyperion

As Jim was on the hyperion bridge simply thinking about everything that hapened today. If he was honest with himself, its been a long time since he was so happy. To know that his son was out there. To know that the woman he loved was with said son and was his mother. To know that Sarah wasn't being controlled and was simply trying to do what she thought best.

Oh yes Jim was happy, pure and simple. Of course a part of him was worried for the both of them. But hell right now they were probably some of the most powerful person in the galaxy. But he was also curious, Matt seemed to be deep in thought and was making return trip between the bridge and the lab. He would need to ask him.

Speaking of the devil.

"Matt, what is going on ?" Jim asked, an eyebrow raised.

"Well sir, when Kerrigan communicated with us she made a request." Matt said

"And that request was ?" Jim asked ,eyebrow still raised.

"She asked to find a way to deinfeste her again." Matt said.

Once again Jim raynor was shocked. It seems like Sarah Kerrigan can do that easily to him. But if he always get shocked because of things like today well...

He could get use to it.

Here we are once again for a new chapter for this fic. And today I bring news some good some bad so here we go.

1- School restart tomorrow for me, so of course, chapters will take more time to make. But this is only the start of school so everything will be pretty relax. So I might be able to put out a chapter.

2- I put up the pilote chapter for my new fic that I will try to work a bit on it. Its called : Only for a handfull of caps.

it is a Fallout New Vegas Fic that i really wanted to do. Check that out if you want.

3- so there will be a couple (maybe 2 or even 3) of chapter for this filler arc in terms of relation and all that stuff. Im sorry if you guys wanted to get into HOTS again but dont worry I have a lot of plan for that. One of them includes the Cerebrate that we play during SC1/Brood war zerg campaign. Not saying anymore.

And now *Deep breath* HOLY FUCK, right now ( 2 pm canada) I have 767 views. Just wow I don't even know what to say just... thank you from the bottom of my hearth.

Favourites : Indominus-Rex-99, Leonais Frostwind and MCRichGuy thank you for the favourites.

Reviews : Scarease : Sorry for that cliffhanger i hope I delivered something good to make up for that.

MCRichGuy : ok so first , a long lasting serie. I hope so atleast, I really want it to be one. This fic is important to me so yea i think it will be one. Second the sub-plot and Jonh Raynor. For the sub-plot, yes. Trace will have his own sub plot a bit later, not saying anymore. Now John, I am hesitant to add him. I could add him, hell it could be a great sub-plot but... fanfiction dragon did the same thing for his fic and I dont want to look like I'm copying his fic to letters. So I might add him but it will be later on. Actually I might do a pole on my profile to see if I add him or not so keep an eye out for that.

Anyway thank you all for the support and take care you guys-DoctorIm

EDIT 5/09/17 (18:30) : Hello all of you beutifull people, I hope you're all doing well. This is a simple Edit to say that I am gonna change the picture and the title of this fic, nothing big but the title was bugging me ( the original title litterally came to my mind when I was taking a shit) as for the pic, I stumbled onto it and I fell in love with it. I tried to find who did it but to no success. Anyway you probably are asking where is the new chapter ? Don't worry its coming and I can even tell you guys the tittles for the next two chapters : Training montage and A Raynor, a drink and a Tosh. I hope this keeps you at the edge of your seat or... whatever your on a I guess. Sorry for not uploading more recently school is keeping me a bit more busy than I thought and my weekend was more loaded than I thought.

Anyway don't worry a new chapter is coming very soon. Its gonna be Training montage for those that are curious. This one will be a bit shorter than usual but it will show Trace's abillities. And no I'm not telling for the other one.

Anyway as always take care and thank you for the amazing support-DoctorIm.

EDIT 5/09/17 (19:48) : *sigh* why do a I keep forgetting these things... I forgot to tell you guys that the pole about John is open on my profile so check that out the pole will close on 11/09/17 or close to that date.
